Six notebooks bound together:

1) Book A contains extracts from the Pennsylvania Gazette, 1761, 1764, dealing chiefly with Cherokee depredations and other affairs on the southwestern frontier.

2) Book B contains entries also from the Pennsylvania Gazette, 1764-1771. Topics include expeditions against the Indians led by Henry Bouquet and John Bradstreet; Pontiac, George Croghan, and Thomas Stirling in Illinois; Cherokee affairs; and the Regulators in North Carolina.

3) Book C contains entries from the Pennsylvania Gazette, 1771-1775, and the Maryland Journal, 1773-1776. Some articles relate to the Regulators, others to Dunmore's War (1774) and Richard Henderson's Transylvania purchase (1775).

4) Book D was copied wholly from the Maryland Journal, 1776-1780, and deals chiefly with Cherokee affairs.

Entries for the earlier years deal with George Morgan and the Indiana Land Company and with many frontier Indian hostilities and military maneuvers. The 1785 entries all pertain to the Kentucky convention of 1784-1785.
